When is the internet going to kill UFO's??? I've started a subreddit to demystify a lot of secrets but its slow going.... http://www.reddit.com/r/SpecialAccess/
I do not like the color. With that said I don't think the nerds here can remotely fathom how awesome that car is. If you haven't taken it to MSR at least once, then shame on you!!!
I had an 08 C6 Z51 and it was nothing short of spectacular, so I know first hand what it feels like to have all...

My exuberance about it not needing trim is for scenario's where the RAID array doesn't support trim. Which is pretty much all the high end SAN/NAS boxes.
No, that is a ridiculous statement. Metro apps are flawed by design because they have to be designed to run on a phone, a tablet, and PC, therefore not taking full advantage of either. Do you think full blown Photoshop could be a Metro app? No, it cant.
The win8 strategy is clearly flawed.
What is the point of Windows8? Apple didn't change their Mac OSX just to get people to use iPhone and Ipad. So Microsoft has to change desktop windows to get people to use Winpads and phones? That is the most boneheaded business move of all time.
Additionally, why do I want to use Win8? There is...
All the nerds defending windows 8 don't have a clue about the IT field. IT directors of enterprise environments aren't going to touch Windows 8 with a 10 foot pole. When you have 20,000 employees to support that is 20,000 people you have to teach to use windows 8. "oh they will figure it out"...
I don't know which version you have, but the public preview released by Microsoft, that I just loaded, forced me to enter a valid email address, and would not let me continue without it.
My mind is blown. This is quite possibly the worse thing Microsoft has ever done to windows bar none. Microsoft Bob is a triumph of creativity compared to Windows 8.
I will lay hard money down to all takers, this will go down as an even bigger flop than Vista.
The Microsoft board meeting...

I don't care how good the reviews are, if customer service is non-existent then it negates any positive aspects of the product in question.
Six months ago I purchased a Seasonic X series 650 from newegg.

Yes, this is a nitpick but I am REALLY tired of sliding the little front panel connectors on the little pins. I'm also really tired of having them slide off at the slightest provocation. Couldn't the mobo manufacturers just standardize on a USB type header with a polarized connector like this...
No. The space shuttle is one of the most ridiculously expensive platforms for sending cargo in to space that we have ever built. It was so expensive from the get go that Russian intelligence agencies were convinced it was a tactical weapons platform. They did the math and discovered it was so...
No. No SSD currently on the market has "always on" garbage collection. Not one. Every current GC implementation has to have idle time at the bios screen or some other method of "forced drive idle" for GC to be triggered.
So instead of accepting that mainstream game companies are working on voxels your counter is that the video I posted didn't meet your criteria instead of taking the initiative to do a little research first?
I think his speech is copy write siggraph since he presented there (thats why there is annoying music), but you can read the PDF here:

That's pretty much what I am here mentioning. If I can get any traction, people will start asking about it.
If people start asking about it, Nvidia will do something about it.
If Nvidia does something about it, CARMACK ALREADY HAS SOFTWARE THAT WILL USE IT...... :)
You increase the resolution of the car by decreasing the size of the voxels, all the way to the atomic level. Try that with polygons.
I could crash that voxel model into a tree and have a super realistic looking smashed car, any speed, any direction. To do the same thing with polygons I have...
Carmack said in his last big interview that voxel acceleration would be in the next gen of cards. Well, this is certainly the next gen. Where is the voxel love?
